Just a Note to Say ...

Good morning! It's the first of the month, and that means a New Challenge over at the House of Cards starts today. This month we have a Theme/Color Challenge for you ... Lots of Layers and/or use the Colors in our Inspiration Photo to create your project this month.

I combined the challenges by using the colors and adding lots of layers.

Today's card focuses on the sentiment which is from the Papertry Ink Wonderful Words: Hello Mini stamp set. I used one of the 7 smaller sentiment stamps in the set plus the big hello for my focal point. Memento Rich Cocoa Ink was used to stamp the full sentiment on Papertry Ink Vintage Cream cardstock. I used the solid colors from My Mind's Eye Fancy That DP for the background, and layers. To make my card a little more feminine I added some LeCreme Swirls Finesse Pearls from Want 2 Scrap under the sentiment.

This card will be heading out to one of my dearest friends and was inspired by the Atlantic Heart Sketch #184. I also love that even though I added layers the card is still clean and simple, which makes for easy mailing.

What a lovely clean and simple card. Someone will be thrilled to receive this! Love the effect of the pearls and your use of the soft cocoa ink. This is gorgeous! TY for playing along at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. Come back soon!~ Ali (AHSC DT)

This is a quick and easy Mini Album that you can change up to meet your needs. Perfect for craft fairs, shower gifts, or gifts just for FUN!

I used Artican Cardstock in Burgandy and my Scor-Pal Eighths Board to create the Wallet. I used Basic Grey Large Magnets to hold the Wallet closed. I went thru all of my design paper and pulled out the Webster's Pages WonderFALL Collection to decorate my Wallet, which I've had for a couple of years. The hubby would say it's about time you used the DP. 😁

I did some fussy cutting for the cover. I layered the butterfly and the flower/bird section of the DP onto the cardstock with 6x6 Scor-Tape Adhesive Sheet. I then cut around the bird and flowers to overlay it on my …

First, I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all! I also want to share the beautiful gift my daughter, Katie, made for me at school for Mother's Day.

Isn't it gorgeous! The center-piece is an electronic candle. I truly LOVE my gift. Now my son, Nick, bought me a new Garmin. I'm very grateful for this gift since the one I have doesn't work when I need it to. Ugh!

When I saw this Horse your Heart sentiment over at Graphicat Designs I immediately thought of my daughter-in-law Lauren, and her love for her horse Stryker. Stryker became ill in April last year. After months of treatment he kept going downhill, and had to be put down last July. So I wanted to…

Good afternoon. I have a NEW Challenge to share with you featuring products from Rubbernecker Stamps. This fortnight our Challenge #30 is "Recycle". We want to see what you have around the house that you can recycle to make something beautiful.

I knew exactly what I was going to do when this challenge came up. I always get hot chocolate from Starbucks so I kept one of the wraps and some stoppers to use for today's card (picture shown below). I cut down the wrap, turned it inside out, scored, and created a flower pot. I applied Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the flower pot. I then cut the top off of all of the stoppers, and put them on the side.

I picked up Recollections Fine Crepe Paper at Michael's to use with the Mixeable Flower Stack Die Set. I layered the flowers together, and attached them to the stopper which I cut down to get the right layereing. Using the Small Leaf Group Die and shimmery green paper I cut out the leaves, and attached them to the…
